What a mess! I’d have cried too. I have a rookie question: how do you get the meatloaf out of the crockpot when it’s cooked? My crockpot is a smallish round style, perfect for one or two people. I’m going to put celery and carrots on the bottom to let the fat drip out.

The best thing to do is to invest in a new pot that is programmable so it flips to a warm setting to keep your food hot and safe until you get home from work. I hate telling you to buy something new just so you can try out a certain recipe though -- if a new pot isn't in your horizon, many of my readers batch cook on the weekend then Stephanie ODeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08618710485017373256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-11245630361688733732013-05-13T11:43:35.372-07:002013-05-13T11:43:35.372-07:00I am a recent finder of your blog.

By the time I leave my house in the morning for work, I'm gone for 12 hours. Looooooonnnnng commute plus a 9 hr workday. This would seem to be a very long time in the crockpot and might get overdone.
